friaries
Mendicant order homes
Friaries is the plural of friary, a building or complex where friars live in religious community.
Unlike monasteries, which historically emphasized seclusion, friaries were typically located in towns and cities, reflecting the mendicant orders' mission of preaching and service among ordinary people.
The medieval friaries of London were dissolved under Henry VIII.
Franciscan and Dominican friaries were particularly common throughout medieval Europe.
